The Southern Prison Outrage.

If half the stories of cruelty told By the con-
victs of the southern prison, of Indiana, to the
investigating committee are true, as there seems
to be no doubt they are. some swift and sure
den of torture should be found at once. That
they have murdered human creatures who were
helpless IN their clutches, and tortured them for
no other reason than because they had little
money coming to Thorn which their tyrants
wished to grasp, would seem to admit of no
question, according to the evidence taken. The
law is privileged to take the life of conyic. for
but one or two of the most heinous and revolt
ing crimes. but apparently petty thief may be

Injunction Suit Against Gas Company-A
Third Gas Well at Muncie.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MUNcrE, Feb. A-City Attorney John Wal
terhouse and assistant counsel C. e. Shipley,
filed an injunction suit in the Circuit Court, this
morning, against tbs Muncie Gas Company, ask
ing shat they be enjoined from the privilege of
laying pipes and mains for natural gas through
the streets Of this city. The trouble grows out
of the attempt of the Muncie Gas Company to
run natural gas through their pipes when their
franchise calls for artificial coal gas. The mem
bers of the Muncie Gas Company drilled we'll
as soon AS the citizens found that there was gas
in this section. and commenced running it
through their pipes and cutting prices so as to
discourage the new company formed by home
persons. The City Council have instructed their
attorney to bring any action he may deem nee
essary to compel the old gas company to submit
to law. A gas fight is imminent, and in the
meanwhile the citizens will enjoy the benefits of
cheap fuel.
The Citizens Company struck their third well
here to-day, which is a gusher, and the stock
holders are highly elated and will push the work
of piping the town as rapidly as possible. Sew
eral men representing large factories have been
in the city within the last few days. and some
are contemplating location at this place. The
Kuhn 6 Highland Company are drilling their
third we'll, which will be completed the last of
this week, and from the location and size Of the
other well it is expected to be a boomer Muncie
has now more gas than any other city in the
State, with more to follow.

An Evening of Song.

Areche rche musicale was given with unusual
eclat at the Strathmore Arms last evening, by
Alice Swain Hunter and her pupils, ably
assisted by the Franz Abt Club. The pro-
gramme was a choice collection of gems. Mrs
Hunter presided at the piano, and her large
class OF pupils robed mostly In white, and with
the summers bloom looked like a tropical
flower garden. The WALTZ Song" by Miss
Dunn, was one Of the features Of the pro-
gramme. The young lady possesses, besides
her beauty of face and person, a very charming
voice, with excellent compass and evidently
capable of highest execution in soprano scores
Miss Blasland merits the warmest enthusiasm
for her very ably executed solo. "Sing. Smile,
slumber." Miss Hancock also received her
share of honors
The Abt Club were welcomed, and brought
down the house with their artistic, stirring
vocalism.
Mrs Hunters appearance for the final selec.
tion was greeted with hearty applause, and the
lady never seemed so much Mt her best. The
musical treat Mrs. Lockwood, the popular
hostess, converted the dining room into q
yeritable flower garden. The massive snow
balls that filled the vases were the most taste
ful decorations that could have been selected.
Refreshments we're served to the class and
their friends.
